Dana Burde shows how aid to education in Afghanistan bolstered conflict both deliberately in the 1980s through violence-infused, anti-Soviet curricula and inadvertently in the 2000s through misguided stabilization programs


Dana Burde is an assistant professor of international education at New York University's Steinhardt School and holds affiliations with the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies at Columbia University, NYU Abu Dhabi, and the NYU Wagner School of Public Service. Her research examines the effects of war on education and how to mitigate these effects; the relationship between education and political violence; and transnational advocacy and humanitarian action.
